AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicular door which can prevent the prior drawbacks.

Problems solved by technology

In the prior sliding door for a vehicle, as mentioned above, since a great number of functional components are mounted on the inner panel through brackets, the number of man-hour in assembling process of a vehicle and the number of part increase and the weight of the door and the cost increase.

Further, since a moving up and down actuator 8 of the window regulator 7 is mounted at the outside of the inner panel, the waterproofing becomes insufficient and there was a case that the insufficient waterproofing causes a malfunction of the moving up and down actuator 8 which is an electrical part.
